Personification Poetry

The tree, tall and proud!
Thinking about the year ahead.
Trying new colours and styles in Spring,
Sunbathing in all my glory through Summer.
Stripping and undressing in Autumn,
Shivering and naked in Winter.
I smile, I laugh, I cringe and I cry....
So many seasons, so many changes.

Inspiration

It is the heart of the moment which keeps us alive
A beautiful presence with the will to survive

In every spirited heart it grows
How does it work? Nobody knows

I gives us the strength to create
A work of art, wonderfully ornate

Or to fashion words into a picturesque vision
It is inspiration, without revision.

PIANO
A piece of art work in all shapes and sizes
black and white keys from low to high
singing songs with all its pride
listening to new songs that people play
holding out the notes to play so people can play all those lovely songs
a piano can play songs as sweet as chocolate
the piano stands silently in a room waiting to burst and let out all the music it can play
a piano is an amazing thing so treat it well like a living thing.

Clock
Waiting, watching time ticking by,
Smiling at me saying, ''It's time'',
Listening to hear something other than its own ''tick tock'',
Watching people wonder around, feeling lonely,
Feeling like it has been hung by the scruff of the neck,
Wishing it could hang around with friends,
A lonely clock is like a lonely star shinning in the dark sky,
Time flies but not if you are like a odd sock.

Computer

Type what you want and it will answer back
Sometimes, stuff up all the work
Annoying as your brother or sister.
Some of them are really slack.

BUT


Computer can be your savior,
That could check your spelling mistakes.
Helpful as your mum and smart as Einstein.
Treat well so computer has good behavior.


Complicated, crude Computer

WAR

Two great armys, swords eating the opposition.
The earth, pulling down its victims to be trampled.

Terrible losses suffered by both sides,
Men screaming like beasts as they are slaughtered.

War eats everything in its path.
It takes pleasure in making humans suffer.

It is a beast waiting to be set free into the world.
The silence that follows drifts into soldiers minds making them mad with loss.

The Storm
The restless wind juggled the leaves,
As the waves were thrashing about like a dog.
The angry clouds marched across the sky in an army,
They closed off all visibility.
The fog was so dense it swallowed us in one go.
The rain slapped me in the face,
As I found a way through.
But finally the storm cleared,
And the stars winked at me from the sky above.

The computer
fixes up all your mistakes
does what its asked
only freezes when its brain is overloaded
with its sticky keys it trys to talk to you
has heaps of buttons to press
always makes it easier

the computer

CAM





Cellphone
Listening waiting for myself to ring
Being beaten up by bashing fingers
I need my food from the power plug
I wish someone would give me a hug
I'm as elegant as a silk gown
But does anyone realise that, no way, no how
Long distance calls and quick txt messages but never a thank-you
and take this I don't depend on you

Fire
The flames dance in the air.
It keep on burning for a thousand years.
He is feroucious.
yelling at the wind of the night.
Roaring at the trees.
Hating the rain.
Feroucious flames in the fire.
It was so hot it was like a 1000 degrees.

Horse Saddle

Noooooooo don’t sit on me,
As a rider as heavy as a rhino clambers on,
This really hurts don’t you have any consideration for me,
Up and down bouncier than a Trampoline,
Strongly compressing the legs on me,
Cant you just get off of me,
I cant breath under here cant you see,
As the rider slowly jumps off.
Charlotte 2008


My Car

My car called me to take it for a spin.
Its as Yellow as the sun on a hot day.
The seats are as soft as a fluffy cat,
but the car is as fierce as a raging bull.
When the wheels spin it cries out in pain "STOP"!
The motor screams out With agony when I turn the engine on.
When I turn the engine off it says "Thank you so much"
And when I leave it in the garage it shouts "Don't leave me please"

The Computer Mouse
The computer mouse is as sneaky as a live mouse.
It is as black as the night sky.
The tail is as long as a 100 m rope.
Communicates with is mum to move.
The red laser is as red as an apple.
With a 1000 hands on it a day it needs a wash.
It is a Genius like an Owl.
With two buttons it is simple to use
Adam 08
Cheetah
Sneakily silently sneaking through the grass.
Proudly, persistently, pouncing on its prey.
Rapidly, running through the savannah like a speeding bullet.
Climbing and pouncing up a tree like a monkey.
Sufficiently swimming and sneaking up on fish.
Cleverly canvassing over the savannah and spying.
Growling and guarding over its cubs like a scary beast.
proudly protectiong its cubs and ready to pounce

School school drags you in like people telling you to come you start at 9:00 and ends at 3:00
